Rough Shot List
INT. HOME:
Begins with the close up of the phone
A macro shot of PROTAGONIST straightening the pens on the table (OCD)
Pulls back, revealing phone and table.
Cuts to a shot of character scratching neck, biting nails (a gesture caused by stress)
Full shot revealing his surroundings.
he attempts to relax and calm down
The phone rings.
EXT. ALLEY:
The moment the phone rings, he finds himself outdoors, sitting in the same chair, same position, next to the same table. (surreal)
he reacts to the first location (confused and surprised, senses that something is wrong)
Spots something small emerging
As he suspiciously turns around, he finds himself back home again.
HOME
Once again surprised, he tries to shake it off, but begins to show some minor signs of stress (Leg shaking etc.)
Cuts to the shot of his stressful gesture (close up) (stress triggers another transition of location)
ALLEY
As camera pulls back, he is once again in the alley.
The previous object/element he spotted is now visibly growing. He's unsure whether to be alarmed until this "unkown" begins to interact with him. As he reacts (relatively frightened) to the touch of this "unkown," he finds himself back home again.
HOME
He eventually looses control of his emotions and the stress quickly takes over, causing him to begin rocking his head back and fourth along with other stressful gestures. (Stress overload, unable to cope)
Close up of protagonists rocking his head back and fourth into the frame, covering it
As his head rocks back, the scene reveals that he is no longer home.
ALLEY
This unkown element begins to fill the entire frame, coming out of the ground, sewer pipe, walls etc.
He flounders uncontrollably in extreme fear of this "beast"
Phone rings
HOME
Cuts to shot of phone. (revealing that this stressful episode was merely a fearful hallucination caused by his fear of the unkown).

Form for the "unknown"

What if we used geometric shapes?

Machine like object?
Topologies (Excerpt) - Tiepolo from Quayola on Vimeo.
Some live footage + infographic to think about
Interesting movement
Cell-like
Texture
Structural

Protagonist Example 1
I thought House would be a good example because he has a sophisticated vibe while at the same time looking on edge enough to be insane. He looks worn out by stress, but still looks clean enough to be excessively OCD.
the "troubled" look feels pretty appropriate for someone who is constantly going through internal stress caused by ocd and a severe introverted personality
This guy looks like he could be a serial killer
So does this guy. He looks like his inability to cope with hte world outside his own is pushing him to be on the brink of insanity
